Agreed. I had an early 90's SR600 with the criterium frame in high school. That thing would accelerate like no other bike I've ever had. It would just explode underneath me in a city block's length. Quite the teeth and bone rattler with the 700 x 20c's I had on it but I loved it. Was quite fun. I would love to buy another old one someday for an errand-runner.
Or he could get a new Sirrus
I had to look it up. I'm digging the paint scheme big time:
Specialized Bicycle Components
But, yeah, a word is a word. Can't be an Indian Giver
That old Sirrus sounds like a very well thought out build. I'm sure he'll love it for a city rocket, assuming the fit is good.
